Hi All, my first post in HAD forums. So far i have only used rosin core leaded (67/33 Sn/Pb) solder wires for all rework. Now I want to try out solder paste as few SMD ships are too small for me to work on even with 0.5mm wires. Looking eBay a small 10g syringe dispenser is $17, which is too steep for me. So I would like to know from veterans on

1. where do you buy Solder paste? (eBay, Amazon, AliExpress, Banggood) any other place?2. What is preferred for usual small reworks, leaded or lead free? I am going to use small hand held hot air station, yet to get to actual reflow state.
